The culminating scholarly experience for KIN doctoral students is a
publishable research study completed as part of KIN 999 Doctoral

Expectations
The majority of KIN doctoral students
prepare for careers in higher education; therefore, it is important that
they acquire sufficient expertise and experience in research, teaching,
and service to prepare for successful careers in the academy.
Departmental expectations related to that goal are described in
Expectations of
Ph.D. Students, and related learning experiences are described in
Professional
Development Opportunities. These expectations are individualized for
students during advising and guidance committee meetings.
